but we, having suffered before after already
suffering and been being shamefully treated
in Philippi, as you know have been well
aware, at Philippi, we grew were emboldened
in our God to tell you speak the Good News gospel
of God to you, in much conflict contention.

But even but, just as we have been approved vetted
by God to be entrusted with the Good News gospel,
so thus do we speak;, not as (ones)
pleasing men, but (as pleasing) God, (who
is) the (one)tests vetting our hearts.

¶Even so, thus, affectionately longing for you,
we were well pleased thought well to impart to
you, not only the Good News gospel of
God only to you, but also our own souls
very selves, because you had become became
very dear to us.

For this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that, when you received from us the word of the message of God, you accepted it not as the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also works in you who believe.
